Wow. If you’re a fan of professional football in America, you must be shaking your head in amazement as I am over yesterday’s NFL playoffs, thanks especially to the San Diego Chargers. They had what it took to upset the vaunted Indianapolis Colts and gain a shot at the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game.
Hopefully, some one will huddle with the Chargers and their coaching staff this week and explain to them they’re supposed to go bellys-up, lay down on the field and let the Glorious New England Patriots roll over them on the way to a Super Bowl victory in February. Hopefully.
Because if the Chargers fail to get the word, hey, they could bring down the Patriots using their “subs,” maybe? Who knows?
It was the backup quarterback and backup running backs who came through yesterday for the Chargers to upset the Colts, last year’s Super Bowl winners. What an amazing surprise. What an ending to an amazing game.
Of course, as a longtime Kansas City Chiefs fan, I have no love for either the Patriots or the Chargers. Indeed, I have very mixed feelings about the Chargers, stemming back to repeated times over the years when the Chargers have bumped the Chiefs out of slots in playoff games. (They’re in the same AFC division.)
Ah, what the heck. Everybody loves to cheer for the underdogs — Go Chargers!
